iTunes is Dead

Wasn't really till recently I needed to sync something over to my iPhone from my windows pc.
I had noticed iTunes no longer recognized my phone and thought that was a bit strange.

Come to find out, they made a new Apple Devices app for iPhone.
Took away the only way to load audio books to iBooks. Was very unfortunate and sad.

There is a bright lining to this.
They at least opened up your ability to load anything you want on the iPhone using icloud drive.

I did end up getting what I needed on my iPhone, just a sign of the times.

Side note, I saw this image on Vivaldi browser and it made me chuckle.  It's apt for this situation. 
A developer with a sense a humor it seems.  See alpha and beta stuff released for chromium they call canary. 
In coal mines, the miners use to carry around canaries as they would be the first to die, as a sign of trouble. 

It is only fitting that untested stuff be called a canary build as the testers of such applications are akin to canaries... letting their systems hit the toxic bug infested crap before the rest of us can touch it.
